I told hom he should check some cheaper PC alternatives and he is interested in this too because Windows 7 should be better than Vista. He uses it for working with large graphic files and a bit of video editing.

The problem with Macs (other than the price) is the fact that their video cards are so horrible they aren't ever mentioned in the specifications. A video card is a big part of how your computer handles memory, especially if you are trying to make videos and such.

you only want the mac if you need a beautifully portablee workstation...

and for the people that think a gaming rig thats two inches thick is comparable to the MACBOOK...ure wrong....

-macbooks have a 7 hour battery life-macbooks have great, steady operating system (comparable with windows 7 ULTIMATE)-macbooks have great, backlit keyboards-macbooks are REALLY thin(less than an inch!) and ligh compared to any other lappy with a CD drive-the macbook pro has 100% color gamut (better screen than the rest)-comes with great software and backup utilities

but if ur friend is a gamer why would he even CONSIDER a mac?? he should directly go with a gaming laptop if all its gonna do is sit on yur desk for some pure owning at COD 6 and crysis ^^

macbooks are SIMPLY the best perfomance/portability laptop...you can even do some mid level gaming on them which is impossible for other laptops their size...

i reccomend the macbook pro because it is reliable and very future-proof
